Taxing pensions to "grow the economy".

'Nother whole set of maroons over there.

eta:  That's exactly right, PRIVATE pensions:

Oh, but it's only temporary. Have you ever seen the elusive Temporary Tax before? I think more people have seen the Loch Ness Monster.

Turns out my great grandmother was correct...your money is safer in your mattress....I didn't say it was worth anything, just safer.

If they do, I hope they try before the election.  When my 78 year old Mother is telling me "we need to march on DC", that's a temperature-taker right there.

I knew things were getting bad when my husband was coming home and telling me what Rush said and his mother started sending me emails on the latest and greatest from DC.

I'll see a Yeti driving a Bugatti down Main Street before I ever see Temporary Tax!

They start that crap here, there will be a march on DC the likes of which no living soul has ever seen!  And they won't be going to accept anything less than the unconditional surrender of the feral government!

We've seen , in our own history , the inarguable fact that "taxes" are permanent and "tax cuts" are temporary .

We have quite a few down here in the swamps and marshes. The biggest problem is the idiots keep voting them back. Evidently a large portion of the population down here has parents that are related.
